Tibetan white crane is a northern style…CLF is mostly a southern style ..
Tibetan white crane ,hop gar or lama pai have a lot of influenced from the tong bei quan …
and the kicking of bak sil lum…and the Shuai jiao(for throwing and wrestling)
I notice their is a lot of seed fists in the TWC forms…I like Kaido’s fighting intent forms more than their training basics forms…like it’s just left uppercut, right uppercut…then he does a fighting technique kick groin punch face drop back deflect horse punch, turn spin etc…then the twc guys go right back into left uppercut, right upppercut:D
I got bored of kung fu dance a long time ago, it’s gotta have fighting intent uno like eye of the tiger:mad:

Steeve, Lion’s Roar and the Tibetan traditions are not “Northern” styles at all.
And to be fair, they have no connection to Baahk Siu Lum whatsoever, nor Tong Bei. It’s easy to see how people might think that, seeing the many Long-Range strikes.
What most people don’t know (outside of the tradition) is that there is a tremendous amount of close-range stuff in Lama. People mostly see the long-range techniques of Haap Ga and Baahk Hok and they think that the style is comprised mostly of long-range. This is untrue. Most of the basics are long-range, but Lama is mutli-dimensional; it uses much more than what you see in WC or HG.

100% True, however I am not sure what you want to say with your last sentence. In TWC there is alot of short range technique, more then what I guess you might think?.

I didn’t mean to imply that TWC or HG DON’T have short range tech. I’m using the word ‘LAMA’ as a all uncompassing word for all three styles sometimes.

Thank you for the clarification and thank you for your work.
Does the lama or lion roar are something to do with Tibetan Arts or its just a history(legend)? I mean like some style are from Hakka…We always classified style by North or south
But agree Lama is very different and dont fit in this classification
I read that also about the lion roar came from Tibetan …and divised in 3 style like you said…But Does all this history is right …the lama style seem to be very present in canton …the province of hung gar …like GM CTS is a toisan country from Guang dong(canton) province…
Mike respond to me about the long fist and thats very true....
Lion’s Roar tradition arrived in southern China around 1840’s and stayed there, so it’s no surprise many figures are Guangdong residents. After Sing Lung, most had backgrounds and cross training in southern styles like Hung Kuen, Choy Lay Fut, etc…
Yet, to say Lion’s Roar is “shaolin” is incorrect.

CLF and Lama are not in the same family at all. Even though they share some techniques, each uses them differently, each has a completely different fighting strategy. Lama is very unique in it’s combat theories; hopefully I will film some Lama in the upcoming weeks. David Ross will try to meet up with me to film some stuff as well.
No wars to start; we love both styles, as did our Sifu. Although David will probably agree, Lama is just a tad bit nastier than CLF.
I honestly feel I am now more of an MMA person BECAUSE I come from Lama Pai. The first principle of Lama Pai is “chaan” - to be ruthless, to do whatever it takes to win strike, kick, wrestle, lock or choke. This is Wong Yan Lam’s lesson from the Lei Tai matches, he won with many different techniques, not one specialty
you can not say Lama Pai is “kicking” or “striking” or “wrestling” - it has many faces
The 8 character noble truth, the first “theory” of Lama Pai is basicly “to strike the vital areas while keeping your vitals protected” - this is why Lama Pai uses the “Chat Sing Bouh Faat” and “breaks/destroys the bridges” which makes it unlike most so called “shaolin” arts

Does the Chaat sing bouh chaat refer to the footwork …I mean use the evasion footwork(7 star footwork) to avoid the attack or used bobbing,weaving evasive defense or use the principle of Break / destroy the bridge is to destroy(strike) the limb (the weapon who attack)…Strike break or destroy the more near target available to you when a guy punch or kick kick ? ? his feet or fist or arms and so on…Sorry guy my english is not very good:))

Lama style bouh faat is not unique because of footwork that other styles lack. It is unique as a southern/northern system that applies such an amazing variety of footwork and in its theory of constant change. In the styles i learned “chat sing bouh” is the name of a technique, not a general description of the footwork, but the theory may be the same as CTS’s lineage (Dave and Mike, help me out here).
As a general principle, every time a strike is initiated there is a new footwork to generate power and to make the attacker hard to find. Got it? EVERY SINGLE TIME you move, your stance is changing.
Breaking bridges is important because in theory the style allows no purely defensive moves. When you counter you are either deflecting your opponent’s bridge with your strike, avoiding the incoming strike by attacking from a new angle, or attacking the bridge directly. Doesn’t hurt to break the opponent’s horse at the same time.

Hello John, say you were in a Right leg weighted Cat stance and you hold his left arm with your left and hammerfist his groin with your right hand, bending your stance into the target…and then you raised up in your stance creating uppercut momentum for a right backfist to face..is this crane or Kaju…or is this crane footwork with standard Kajukenbo application?.
